We accept payments via both Stripe and PayPal, and I have to say, trying to find a baremetrics-esque solution for us has been insanely frustrating. We're still calculating LTV, churn, etc. by hand since surprisingly none of these services actually support both, and by looking at the metrics from only one payment source we're missing out on the bigger picture.

So glad to see someone finally made one for PayPal, but without support for other payment systems, I don't see it being able to compete with what's out there. This would only be useful for a company accepting payments from JUST PayPal, which as others have pointed out is probably a rare case these days.

ChartMogul claims to be working on PayPal support, so hopefully that will come through. In the meantime, I still think there's a huge hole in this market for supporting PayPal + other services.

That's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for - the kinds that helps in finding direction for the app.

I'd love to chat with you about making this work for both Stripe and PayPal (as well as about how you use the metrics in your business). If you are interested, you can sign up at https://www.saasymetrics.com/ or just shoot me an email (email in my profile)
